Wispy clouds cling to the walls of Tenorio's crater lake.  This densely forested volcano provides habitat for some of Costa Rica's most exotic wildlife, including pumas, jaguars, tapirs, and a wide variety of bird life.  Heavy rainfall in this forested terrain feeds crystalline waters that are important in regional hydrology. Photo by Eliecer Duarte (OVSICORI-UNA).
